    NASA Eclipse 2017

    I traveled to Kentucky with my telescope and recorded HD video of the eclipse. Watch for the moment I removed the solar filter, and make sure to watch in HD! Enjoy!

    Is AliExpress.com OK to deal with, any experience with them?

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    So its now 2017 and I still don't have a 4k receiver so I thought I would check with everyone else and see if you guys have anything legit yet. I see the VU+ Uno 4K would be available if I lived somewhere other than the USA :( It looks like it would be a good box having HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and...

    NASA Galaxy 13

    This is troublesome, I have always had really good luck at both locations that NASA has been at 105 and 127 but Now I cant even get a picture to stabilize and no audio at all. Nothing has changed on my end and everything else is pretty good. Do you think the extra 1½ feet are making the...

    NASA Galaxy 13

    Well it's funny, I just posted a about having a problem getting them. I have been getting NASA-HD for quite some time. Recently they have moved from 105W to 127W. I scanned in the new location and went about my way, still receiving them at about 70% SQ. BUT, as of lately I am having signal...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I couldn't bring my self to order from eBay, the seller seemed a little iffy. So instead I have ordered the Nvidia Shield TV for hardware reasons. I have been looking into several user projects with DVBapi and successful attempts of running USB DVB-S2 tuners. One thing is for sure, Nvidia knows...

    New NASA UHD channel

    Maybe so, I'm hoping for some good ideas to come from that. It is supposed to be on NASA TV so we will see if it is simultaneously broadcast on the UHD channel.

    Thanks for the conformation.

    New NASA UHD channel

    Not sure what the deal is with the NASA UHD channel, today all I am getting is a black screen. BUT it is a black screen with the following: Video: HEVC 3840x2160 59.94fps [V: hevc main, yuv420p, 3840x2160] Audio: MPEG Audio 48000Hz stereo 64kbps [A: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 64 kb/s] So, its...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Well I'm about to order a Wetek Play 2, so I will soon have some personal feed back on this device. Please fill free to stop me if you have any warnings, I'm going for a "4K FTA HD Receiver" which is exactly what this thread is about. Only thing that I'm worried about at this point is having to...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I have emailed the manufacture, hopefully they will come back with a response soon. Not a bad price for what you get, I paid more for the ROKU 4 and it doesn't even have a DVBs2 tuner. I hope it will be an all in one solution for NASA UHD also.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    OK this WeTek Play 2 is looking better all the time. I have another question about it, if anyone out there has had a chance to try it out. Concerning The PLEX app on the WeTek Play 2, does it support 24p playback? I ask because currently I am considering replacing my ROKU 4 with an NVIDIA Shield...

    New NASA UHD channel

    Still eye candy on rotation, but they have added a few new episodes though. I will try to get an updated episode list and post back.

    New NASA UHD channel

    Guess I should update for anyone stumbling upon this thread, NASA has moved this UHD channel over to Galaxy 13 @ 127w 3920 V 28068. Although getting close to my neighbors tree everything still works as described. Worth noting they have actually moved all of their content to this satellite...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I must be blind or even worse... I saw the screen resolution option but the video never shows the options for that selection. I must say it looks like a really nice device though.
  16. BigRyan

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Is it just me, or was the highest resolution option in the setup 1080p? Sure it can tune a 4K feed but it doesn't look like it supports 4K output.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I'm guessing they figure USB 3.0 is close enough, and probably cheaper than SATA to include. Theoretically 3.0 is 5Gbps vs e-SATA at 6Gbps and USB 3.1 claiming 10Gbps. In reality it comes down to the hard drive used, 5200 RPM or 7200 RPM, 8MB cache, or 16, 32, 64. Are they a "green" drive or...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    If you have ever seen a clear, starry sky from a place devoid of light pollution then you know what I mean. As an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer I long for the day that I can move out to the middle of nowhere. I am actually jealous of those that cant get decent internet because that...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Exactly why gigabit "LAN" is so important streaming movies and videos from the PC across the LAN is the rural way! Buy used Blu-Rays and TV shows on Blu-Ray, and record shows from the C-Band and archive all this media to PleX. Now you have your own NetFlix in your house. But you could have more...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Gigabit Ethernet gets us above 100 megabit. For those of us that use the Roku for a PleX client streaming movies to it. 100mb is a bit to close for comfort. NASA Thermonuclear Art for example is 200GB for a 17Min video. So streaming "LEGIT" 4K videos will not always work at 100mbps. Also common...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Yup, we have a SoC, so now we wait for someone to build a box with a tuner in it that uses it. This PC streaming to Roku4 solution is getting old. Maybe I should experiment with the old "Media Center" on Windows 7. One thing I have noticed with the Roku 4, If you have it set to 10bit it will NOT...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Wow gigibyte ethernet, I suppose they mean Gigabit Ethernet. That would be nice for LAN streaming of 4K video. I tested some Sony 4K 10bit demos and one was 85 megabit per second. So I can see this surpassing the "Fast Ethernet" standard (100 megabit) quite easily. Does the wetek have a PleX or...

    Can anyone confirm the K1 Plus will output 4K@60Hz? Or at least 4K@30Hz?

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    So now it is almost September, any one have a 4K HEVC FTA receiver yet? I'm still doing this with PCI-E card > Roku4 solution or straight from GTX950 to TV. Sure would be nice to have a BOX to do this. ALSO K9SAT said "Unfortunately you will never see uncompressed 4k unless you are actually in...
